 Rhode & Schwarz now has a website
area dedicated to electromagnetic interference
(EMI) debugging and analysis. "EMI debugging in the design phase will help
keep product development on schedule Detecting, analyzing, and correcting causes
of electromagnetic interference (EMI) early in the development process is the
surest way to successfully pass an EMI compliance test and the best way to avoid
redesigns, delays, and added costs late in a project. EMI debugging for unwanted
emissions can start as soon as a circuit is live. Rohde & Schwarz supply
multipurpose equipment including oscilloscopes with leading FFT functions, advanced
trigger possibilities and very low input noise, and spectrum analyzers..."

 Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC
- like the connector) will be conducting a free webinar on Thursday, February
25th, entitled "Quantum Computing."
To most people, including me, quantum computing is still a mysterious technology.
Its concepts of multiple simultaneous logic states makes the fuzzy logic craze
of the 1980s look sharply focused. Photos of quantum computers built by IBM*,
Microsoft, and Google look like science fiction chandeliers where you expect
to see the rejuvenated brains of Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, or Isaac
Newton soaking in a bubbling bath of formaldehyde with wires sticking out of
them. A short paper entitled, "Are You Ready for Quantum Computing" can be accessed
on the BNC website. Berkeley Nucleonics produces a number of instrumentation
items used by quantum computing researchers...

 Sam Benzacar of
Anatech Electronics,
an RF and microwave filter company, has published his January newsletter that
features his short op-ed entitled "In a Digital World, Analog Filters Stand
Their Ground." It points out that with few exceptions, even the most sophisticated
digital RF systems require some form of analog filter at the input (receiver)
or output (transmitter). Power levels and aliasing components of sampled systems
keep digital (software) filters from being used universally. That bodes well
for the world's analog filter companies, including Anatech. Sam also presents
some relevant industry news items as well...
